How to Use This Parkertown, New Jersey Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Parkertown, New Jersey. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of New Jersey or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Parkertown.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Parkertown emerges from the low-lying salt marshes as a quiet study in water and transition, defined primarily by the steady, dark flow of the Parker Run that cuts through the landscape toward the distant horizon. It lies 2.8 miles northeast of Little Egg Harbor, NJ (from Little Egg Harbor, NJ: bearing 52°T), and is situated 7.0 miles south-southwest of Stafford. The air here carries a persistent, saline weight, a constant reminder that the Atlantic Ocean lies only six miles to the east, casting a pale, diffused light over the flat terrain. Beyond the immediate reach of the stream, the land stretches out into the protected expanse of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, where the rhythmic tides dictate the movement of the reeds and the flight of the coastal birds. To the west, the dense, sandy woodlands of the Bass River State Forest anchor the horizon, while the distant silhouettes of Sandy Ridge remain faint, ghostly shapes against the sky on the clearest of days.

Parkertown maintains a lineage rooted in the maritime and timber-harvesting traditions that once thrived along the edges of the marshland. While the bustling commerce of earlier centuries has faded, the local economy remains tethered to the natural rhythms of the surrounding wetlands and the nearby waters, where the legacy of the baymen lingers in the quiet persistence of the residents. Life here moves with the slow, deliberate pace of the tides, far removed from the urban density found elsewhere in the state. Even in the stillness, the presence of Pohatcong Lake offers a freshwater counterpoint to the salt-heavy air, providing a reflective surface that catches the orange hues of dusk. Across the reaches of the marsh, one might catch a glimpse of the distant Hester Sedge, a small fragment of land that punctuates the view, serving as a silent sentinel in the vast, open theater of the coast.
